Luke,
My engine is a stock green 4-53T as well with 5C60 injectors and a rebuilt green turbo. The only mods I'm planning for it are 7A75 injectors that I already have new and a natural rebuilt blower that I have to buy. After spending hours of searching and talking to different vendors, the ZF6 is too much work to fit on my #2 flywheel housing. So I'm going to source an Allison 1000 6 speed for it and switch to my #3 housing and it's a easy bolt up. I've spoken to many different tuners and you can now run the oem Allison TCM,TPS and tune it for the Detroit. I have considered the 6V53T, but it's too heavy. I think I can get a modest 200 horse out of my engine when it's finished, so that's enough for me. I'm just setting up my shop, so I'm about 6 months away from finishing it and will give me lots of time to get a good Allison and gear.
Here's a video of my Detroit
